Ultrathin 2D Cu-porphyrin MOF nanosheets as a heterogeneous catalyst for styrene oxidation

Abstract

2D MOF nanostructures have shown promising properties in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we synthesized ultrathin 2D Cu-porphyrin MOF nanosheets and demonstrated their excellent catalytic performance in styrene oxidation (94% conversion efficiency), which was attributed to the material's high density of exposed active sites and low diffusion barriers.
